And so it begins..............My older son decided to try his hand at model building. He's a few years older than my one that did The Burnt Marshmallow, so he is a bit more tuned into details. He had a Revell 2-n-1 1964 GTO kit that we bought years ago simply for the motor to put in a Pinewood Derby car he built, so he opened it back up and started to put together what was left. The color picked out and shot: He has the chassis and engine compartment started: Started detailing things as soon as the engine/trans package went together. All mold lines removed for smooth surfaces (or so he says): Engine/trans finished and on the stand. A few details he worked on was using PE wire looms on the plug wires, fabricating an alternator bracket, adding a fuel line for the carbs, and using paint to distinguish the molded in oil filter and starter: He has also spent time on the body trim, emblems, and hood up to this point as well (everything is done in paint). I'll have to get a picture of the hood as well; he has decided to take this build down the Pro-Touring route (aka: make it "cool"), and opened up the hood scoops to make them functional, eliminating the chrome inserts. He's got big plans for this build, as he's been talking opened exhaust, lowered suspension. etc. Wish I had this much ambition for my 1st build............
